Ok, quick summary. The original post in this thread was for a turbo cider i saw on you tube. It was my first try, end result great looking fizzy cider when i opened the bottle, but almost zero taste.

I then bought some fresh pressed apple juice for my second try, fermented like crazy, I bottled it on the 11 August, I tried my first one about 3 weeks after bottling , very little had happened. Now today is the 20 September I still have no pop or fizz, and very bitter apple juice.

Is there anyway to save the rest of the batch? Is it too late to add more sugar to get a fizz and take the edge off the bitterness?

Did you add k-meta or campden to the fresh juice? If you did, it will be bitter for several months, but will get better eventually. If you skip the k-meta, it will be drinkable nearly right away, but wont keep as long (4-8 months depending on how careful you were with prep)

What sort of yeast are you using? Many will ferment out all the sugar, leaving only the acids for residual taste. Ale yeasts are better for leaving some residual sugar, although you still may need to cold crash to stop fermentation at the level of sugar you want. Search on "cold crash" for more info
